I want to share a little moment with you. ๐ŸŒป

One of my clients, who is also a dear friend, sent me this beautiful card. The front reads *"Out of the impossible, miracles grow,"* and the heartwarming message inside made me stop, sit, pause, and smile. ๐Ÿค

It got me thinking. When do we ever take the time to just *be*? When do we sit quietly and stare into a flickering flame, with nowhere to go and nothing to fix? ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

It's in those pauses that we see what's truly important. The pause is where the miracles grow.

That's exactly what **Tending the Inner Flame** is all about. It's an evening set aside to pause, slow down, and look within:

๐Ÿ”ฅ Gathering by the fire with a warm cup of chakra tea
๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ A candlelight meditation, gazing softly into the flame
๐Ÿ““ Quiet time to journal what feeds your soul
๐ŸŽถ A sound bowl meditation to let it all settle in

โœจ Each of you will take home your own small candle, a reminder to keep pausing and keep tending your light long after our evening together ends.

Today has been a momentous day! My class on Udemy got approved and my book got released on Amazon. Yes! What a great day!

My new book, The Labels We Never Question: Reclaiming Our Divinity, One Label at a Time, is now live on Amazon Kindle.

This little book is about the words we put on ourselves and each other every single day, and how quietly they shrink who we really are. This book was inspired by my Inner Compass Retreats. Everything I taught at those retreats and so much more is in this book, minus the meditations.

Inside youโ€™ll find:
๐ŸŒฟ Real stories from my own life
๐ŸŒฟ Guided questions to help you find your own answers
๐ŸŒฟ Journal prompts to carry the work forward

Itโ€™s $3.99, and free if you have Kindle Unlimited. ๐Ÿ’›

Have you ever been told your thyroid labs are โ€œnormalโ€โ€ฆ but you still feel exhausted, cold, foggy, and stuck? ๐Ÿ’™

Iโ€™ve been there. After my second child was born, I had bone-deep fatigue that just wouldnโ€™t lift. Even on thyroid medication for years, I still didnโ€™t feel like myself. Learning to really read my own lab work changed everything for me.

Thatโ€™s why I created my new online course: Understanding Your Thyroid Lab Work

Inside, youโ€™ll learn:
๐Ÿ”น What TSH actually tells you, and what it doesnโ€™t
๐Ÿ”น Why Free T3, Free T4, and Reverse T3 matter
๐Ÿ”น How thyroid antibodies can show up years before TSH changes
๐Ÿ”น Why your liver, gut, and stress levels affect your thyroid
๐Ÿ”น The key nutrients your thyroid depends on

Youโ€™ll walk away able to look at your own labs with confidence and have a better conversation with your healthcare provider.

Here is the link for the course-

Itโ€™s self-paced, so you can learn on your own time. ๐Ÿ’›

Thereโ€™s still room for you at Tending the Inner Flame this Friday evening. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

Join us by the fire with a warm cup of chakra tea, followed by candlelight meditation, journaling, and a sound bowl meditation to close the night. Itโ€™s an evening to slow down, look inward, and ask yourself what feeds your soul. We might even be roasting a few marshmallows! ๐Ÿ‚

Let me ask you the big questions. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

**What feeds your soul?**
**What makes you happy on the inside?**

Not the to-do list, or what everyone else expects of you. I mean the quiet things that make you feel most like *you*.

So often we look outside ourselves for the answers: more busy, more noise, more scrolling. This season is inviting us to do the opposite. As the days grow shorter and the world grows quiet, it's time to turn inward. ๐Ÿ‚

That's exactly what we'll do this Friday at **Tending the Inner Flame**.

Picture this:
๐Ÿ”ฅ A circle of like-minded souls gathered around the fire
๐Ÿต A warm cup of chakra tea in your hands
๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ A candlelight meditation as the sun goes down, gazing into the flame and remembering the light that lives within you
๐Ÿ““ Quiet time to journal what feeds your soul and how you'll tend your light this winter
๐ŸŽถ A sound bowl meditation to carry it all deep into your body

A beautiful space, good company, and a little time to come home to yourself. Truly, the evening could not be more magical. โœจ

Have you noticed it? ๐Ÿ‚

The days are getting shorter. The mornings stay dark a little longer, and the evenings arrive a little sooner. Darkness is coming, and with it the long, cold winter months.

This is the time of year when nature slows down, and it invites us to slow down too. When we do, we start to remember what truly makes us happy and what makes us feel alive.

But here's my question: do we ever actually take the time to do it? ๐Ÿค

๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ **What feeds your soul?**
๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ **What gets you through the long, cold, dark months?**
๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ **What makes you happy on the inside when it's dark outside?**
๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ **What can you start feeding your inner flame now, so it burns bright all winter long?**

That's what our evening together is all about.

๐ŸŒฑ Ear seeds and blood sugar: what Iโ€™m seeing ๐ŸŒฑ

I want to share something Iโ€™ve been watching closely.

Several people I work with wear a continuous glucose monitor. Since they started ear seeds, theyโ€™ve been showing me their numbers, and their average glucose has come down. ๐Ÿ“‰

Let me be honest about what that is and isnโ€™t. This is not a study. Itโ€™s my own experience with real people, and they are also doing other good things for their health. But Iโ€™ve seen it enough times now that I wanted to know what the research says.

๐Ÿ”ฌ What researchers have found so far

A 2024 review pooled randomized trials of people with type 2 diabetes. Those who added ear seeds to their regular medical care had lower fasting glucose, after-meal glucose, and A1c than those on regular care alone.
Two small trials in older adults in South Korea found modest improvements in glucose readings, along with better sleep and lower stress.
Not every review agrees. One found no meaningful change in A1c, and researchers say bigger, better studies are still needed.

So the research is early and mixed, but it points the same direction as what Iโ€™m seeing.

๐Ÿ’ค Why sleep and stress matter here
Poor sleep and high stress both push blood sugar up. Those same trials saw sleep and stress improve too, and thatโ€™s a big part of what people tell me they notice first.

โœจ Why I think the continuous part matters
You wear your seeds for up to 5 days, take a 2-day break, and we reapply. Itโ€™s steady, gentle support around the clock, a lot like that monitor on your arm.

โš ๏ธ Please hear this part
Ear seeds are not a replacement for your doctor or your medication. In the studies, people used them alongside their regular care. If your numbers start changing, tell your doctor so your medication can be adjusted safely. Never change it on your own.

If you track your glucose and youโ€™re curious, come see me. Iโ€™d love to watch your numbers with you. ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿ’ง **Let's talk about squalane** ๐Ÿ’ง

This is one of the simplest things on our shelf, and one of the things I reach for most.

Your skin makes its own moisturizer, a compound called squalene. It keeps skin soft and supple, and we make less and less of it as the years go by. Squalane is the stable, plant-derived version, and because it's so close to what your skin already makes, it sinks right in.

Our Pure Squalane Oil has exactly one ingredient: squalane. No fragrance, no fillers, no essential oils.

Why people love it:

๐ŸŒฟ Feather-light, with no greasy finish
๐ŸŒฟ Absorbs in seconds
๐ŸŒฟ Softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles
๐ŸŒฟ Helps skin feel balanced, whether yours runs dry or oily
๐ŸŒฟ Won't clog pores
๐ŸŒฟ Unscented and gentle enough for sensitive skin
๐ŸŒฟ Layers well under moisturizer or makeup

โœจ **How to use:** Press a few drops into clean, slightly damp skin, morning and night.

โœจ **Beyond your face:** Try it on cuticles, dry elbows, the ends of your hair, or a drop mixed into your regular moisturizer for extra softness.

1 fl oz dropper bottle, just $9.95. Stop in and try a drop on the back of your hand. You'll feel the difference right away.

โœจ Tending Your Inner Flame โœจ
An evening of tea, candlelight, and sound

Join me for a cozy evening to slow down and turn inward as the season changes. We'll start with a warm cup of tea and a conversation around one question:

What light are you carrying into the darker months?

Then, weather permitting, we'll gather outside by the fire:

๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ A candle gazing meditation as the sun goes down. Your little flame is simply a reminder of the light that is already within you.
๐Ÿ““ Quiet journaling time to capture what comes up
๐ŸŽถ A sound bowl experience indoors to let it all settle in
๐Ÿต Warm tea and good company

๐Ÿ“… Friday, October 16
๐Ÿ•• 6:00โ€“8:00 pm
๐Ÿ“ 2853 S. State Road 162, Jasper, IN
๐Ÿ’› $30 per person

Please bring a journal and pen, a yoga mat, a blanket and pillow, and dress in layers for our time by the fire. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll bring the candlelight inside.

Space is limited so we can keep this evening intimate. To save your spot, [message me / call the store-812-639-7615 or sign up at this link: /https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScaueNMSimOwZCxvEo-bt2ejVVwC9kulWuqsU2H3Hmj9Rf3iw/viewform?usp=header ].

Come as you are. Leave carrying a little more light. ๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ

๐ŸŒฟ Meet our Wonder Face Oil ๐ŸŒฟ
This one is close to my heart. I formulated this blend myself years ago, and I still make every batch by hand right here at Forest Fresh.
It starts with three skin-loving carrier oils:
๐Ÿ’ง Squalane: lightweight and fast-absorbing, leaves skin soft without a greasy feel
๐Ÿ’ง Jojoba: very similar to your skin's own natural oils, so it sinks right in
๐Ÿ’ง Sweet almond: rich in fatty acids and vitamin E to soften and smooth
Then I add my own blend of organic essential oils, each chosen for a reason:
โœจ Frankincense: prized for centuries for mature skin and an even-looking tone
โœจ Lavender: gentle, calming, and soothing to the skin
โœจ Roman chamomile: a favorite for sensitive, easily irritated skin
โœจ Myrrh: deeply moisturizing, wonderful for dry or weathered skin
โœจ Rose: hydrating and a classic for a radiant-looking complexion
โœจ Geranium: helps skin look balanced and refreshed
โœจ Clary sage: helps skin feel balanced, especially oily or combination skin.
โœจ Rosemary: rich in antioxidants and brightening to a tired-looking complexion
โœจ Tea tree: cleansing and clarifying
Finished with vitamin E and calendula extract for extra antioxidant and soothing support.
๐ŸŒธ How to use: Warm 3 to 4 drops between your fingertips and press into clean, slightly damp skin, morning or night. A little goes a long way!
Contains sweet almond oil (tree nut). As with any new skin care product, try a small patch first.
